Apologies for the downtime. It was nothing to do with us; there were problems with the server. I probably should switch to another vendor.
Sorry about the comment outage a few hours ago. I had to reset the Spam Karma logs and forgot I was supposed to reinitialize them, hence the error. The problem was that some people (including Ross McKitrick) immediately fell foul of the spam filter so I had to tell Spam Karma that these were nice […]
DF criticized my post on principal components yesterday as follows: Most of your figures for conventional PC analysis are misleading. You are comparing PCA1 to mean as if PCA1 has an intrinsically meaningful scale, when it does not. If you rescaled your comparison plots so that PCA1 and the mean had the same variance, then […]
Turning up on google today was an announcement on March 21, 2006 by the National Science Foundation giving Information on the Competition for the Management of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Interested parties have to submit Capability Statements by May 1, 2006. March 21, 2006 The Division of Atmospheric Sciences (ATM) of the Directorate […]
As you’ve noticed, there was a server crash and the site has been restored from a back-up. I’m told that the site is on a new server. The recurrent down-time leading up to the crash was presumably related. Lost in the backup are my post on Mann at the NAS panel, my update to the […]
If you glance to the bottom of the sidebar on the right hand side, you will find a brand new, shiny, and in keeping with CA’s overriding philosophy, free visitor counter with the added bonus that we can then all view where you’re browsing from. Over time you’ll see that we get visitors, trolls and […]
A propos of nothing, I decided to check out the statistics provided by the webhost (Webserve.ca) on climateaudit.org, since we didn’t know whether the recent statistics were an aberration or a short sample from a long trend. Using advanced statistical analysis tools (OpenOffice Calc) and image transformation technologies (Krita) I present the real statistics of […]
I’m going to jump ahead a little and report on Hughes, who spoke on Friday morning. My notes on Hughes are decent by my standards. I’ll come back and describe our presentation next and then get to Mann’s. Neither Hughes nor Mann attended Thursday’s session or reception. I missed meeting Mann on Friday as I […]
My notes on Luterbacher and Hegerl are not very good. Hegerl, in particular, was very difficult to follow and it would have been hard for the panel to assimilate. She made one nice observation – someone asked her about confidence intervals with low correlations. She said that they would be from the floor to the […]
William Connolley, who tends to be a little truth-challenged when it comes to matters Mc, said over at Fleck: Incidentally, note that this “Hockey Team”stuff is a figment of McI’s. Now I’ll admit to having some fun with this, but the term originated over at realclimate (and it wasn’t just an incidental use). I think […]
